Just 1 Pic [HDR]

C&C will be warmly received, thanks!

Personally, I like HDR's when they have a lot of different colors in them, but I get what you were going for here and I think it looks good.

I like that you left a lot of shadow in the picture. Too often people end up overexposing things and you get an HDR no contrast.

too much hdr will look like a kids coloring book though.

Thanks, I purposely left a bunch of shadows to set the mood, the HDR was used to bring out all the cracks/lines/shadows without blowing out the lights.

And yes, I like more colorful HDR's (but not overdone)... however, the environment here didn't allow for that.

I love how the Bimmer roundel contrasts on the AW

So what's up with the modified right side of the bonnet...has double curves, no straight line?

I think the "double curve" you're seeing is actually the reflection of 2 florescent bulbs along the hood line.

Wow--looks great.

ptack · 03-24-2009, 01:42 PM

Nice colors and lighting, but I think the nose stretch is a bit too much. It reminds me of a dog sticking his nose in the camera.

Looks good!

True, the distortion of the lens pulled the nose out... I actually cropped out about 15% of the top of the image, so the bottom was really getting towards the edge of the frame, thus causing the distortion.
